Typical destinations of dead links are HTTP 404 ("Not Found") or 403 ("Forbidden") errors, a "This video is unavailable because it is private/the account associated with it has been taken down due to copyright strikes" (for YouTube links), or a generic search engine-type page proclaiming, "This domain is up for sale!" In the worst cases, these links might redirect you to shady websites that disable your browser's "back" button and try to download malware.
On most of this wiki, as well as a vast majority of other wikis, dead internal links are indicated in red, although Sugar Wiki uses pink (unless you hover your mouse over the link).
If you see a dead external link on this wiki, correct it or remove it. If you see a dead internal link, then, in the immortal words of the instructions that appear when you click on it, "If you want to start this new page, just click the edit button above."
If you find that you can't create this page because it has been locked, that's because it's either a member of the Permanent Red Link Club, or it was made and cut previously. Check the Permanent Red Link Club for it, and if it's not there, go to this forum thread and request an unlock.
This is one reason why Weblinks Are Not Examples.
